4/13/24 IGT - Royals @ Mets - 1:40

Post by Frayed Knot » Sat Apr 13, 2024 8:58 am

The return to afternoon baseball for early season Saturdays in Queens brings us RH Alec Marsh vs LH Sean Manaea at 1:40 EDT

Marsh, 26 and in his second ML season, was a 2019 2nd round (44th overall) out of Arizona St
His 17 Games/8 starts in his rookie season led to no great distinction [3-9; 5.69 ERA; 1.56 WHIP] but, like a lot of his teammates,
he's improved on things so far this year [3.09 / 1.03] first in a 7 IP 1R/2H game vs BAL, he then went 3R/8H in 4.2 vs CHW

As the only KCR pitcher yet to make his 3rd start I guess they consider him their 5th starter. Must be nice to live in a world where
your team goes three whole times through the rotation without having to resort to back-ups and call-ups.

I'l be watching assuming my cable/streaming services don't go out again just before game time as they did last night.

Benchin a hot Baderbat as Nimmstone gets only his second start of the season in center.

The Royals presumably have the biggest name-on-back lettering in the league, and it still looks small.

Bunting, deployed correctly, is a great weapon.

Baty is the keystone of this lineup suddenly.

A lot of pitches thrown for just 1-1/2 innings.

The Royals remind me of that 2015 team that frustrated you by putting the ball in play.

Both these teams are going at this like a World Series game.

It's the game they didn't have in their actual World Series.

134 pitches combined thru three innings.
A couple ticks past one hour to play. How long would three innings like those have taken prior to the speed up rules?

Ooh, Nimmo just defended a double into a homer.

Please move that railing back, Mets.

The best guess I have on the Milwaukee leftfielder Keith was trying to come up with is Rob Deer.

One day, Francisco Alvarez will be like Salvador Perez.

What a difference a couple of days make.
Last week I'd be looking at a one run deficit and thinking 'insurmountable'. Today I'm thinking, 'eh, it's only four runs'.

This feels like a close 9-4 game.

Kinda felt that way, then it became 11-4.

Maybe, if he eats his spinach.
In the meantime, as a multi-year all-star.

Glad we have a rested bullpen.
